90 Dolch Nouns & ASL Sign Language

Over the last year, I have strived to teach my daughter to read Dolch words. Turning 5 years old in July 2012, she has nearly completed the 220 Dolch words. Midway thru teaching I noticed that when I taught her the sign for the word her retention increased. For my daughter, teaching both English & sign made reading flash cards more fun & easier. We also read 2 to 3 books a day together as well as work on spelling which seems to be the best way to teach phonetics at her age. I have compiled the Dolch nouns with links to their sign for our final step in Dolch memorization. We will focus on speed and pronunciation till the end of the year on the 220 Dolch words but will begin the 90 Dolch nouns in January. Just click on the name to find the link to the word on Signing Savvy. I will post my 220 Dolch links soon.

Note: For "Robin" we use the sign for red & bird.
